Southampton: New Zealand openers Latham and Conway have given a solid start. India were inconsistent and gave away some freebies.

After New Zealand lost openers, an unbeaten 96-run stand between captain Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor for the third wicket, gives New Zealand inaugural World Test Championship title.

Earlier, India resumed the day on 64/2 and lost three wickets in the first session, adding 66 runs.

After winning the first session, NZ bossed the show in the second, taking five wickets for 40 runs.In total, they collected eight scalps, giving away only 106 runs.

After Ravindra Jadeja was dismissed by Neil Wagner, the side needed Rishabh Pant and R Ashwin to make sure there was no quick damage.

However, Pant played a nothing shot and his decision to go aggressive saw India lose their seventh wicket.

In the same over, Ashwin was guilty of making a poor decision too. Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah departed next.

Pant was batting sensibly and rotating the strike well.

However, his decision to go all out against an experienced Boult hurt India's cause.

Boult got a ball full, wide, and angling away, as Pant decided to dance down and charge at it.

All he offered was a top-edge as Henry Nicholls claimed a stunning catch.He was out for 41 in a cheap fashion.
